Leave it connected and on the car , leave a pad in the good side of the caliper , fit a pad in sideways on the other half holding the loose piston in the caliper , and pump the pedal , the seized piston will come out.
If you need a piston , let me know tomorrow and i'll get one posted to you , I'm off to Ireland thursday and wont be back in work until tuesday so can't help you while i'm away
Cheers Ian

Hi mate, i just recently refurbed mine and one of the pistons on the passenger was seized so i took Mr Godneys and i put the caliper back on car and pumped brakes and to my astonishment it still didnt come out.....so i switched the car on and pumped brakes again because your get a lot of help from to servo and the piston poped out.
